Hi I´m using Amber on my pi with the latest raspbmc gotham version. After every new boot I need to wait minutes for the menu to show up. The pi boots and then I can only see the background image but no menu.

On the Pi it can sit on the initial background wall paper for up to a minute before the home screen loads, on the Mac its a lot quicker but there is still a delay of about 10 seconds that is not there with Confluence.

I'm guessing at the moment you have it set so that it boots up ASAP and then waits for the shelf. That's my guess anyway but I've only been using the skin a few days!I assume you're referring to Settings->Advanced->Fast Start ?

I'll try enabling that on my Pi and see what happens. I'm a little dubious though because we are talking about a minute delay or more on a Raspberry Pi, and if I press Exit just a few seconds after the background first appears the home menu displays and is fully populated, but I'll try it anyway and see.
